When you were a kid, did you and your parents ever have...The Talk? Lol.
I'm pretty sure that my mom and dad sat me down when I started to hit puberty.

Well, they answered any questions I had. And my school, for the first time, allowed rudimentary sex ed classes (1968), in a Catholic school. Possibly because many of the kids’ parents were having babies. I had classmates with ten and twelve siblings. Very basic; we were in classes separated by gender and upcoming physical changes were discussed. Then we were taught about reproduction ("when a man and his wife love each other…"). We received an archdiocese-approved âge appropriate booklet, and I took it home and reviewed it with the folks.

@bijouxbroussard Oh, I remember sex-ed during health class in 10th grade. They did not hesitate to show us some of the graphic stuff from what I remember like the effects of various STDs.

@SubstantialKick They still weren’t showing anything graphic when I was in high school. We had "Family Life" classes, where you learned how to change diapers, prepare basic meals, (if you were a girl), find a job (if you were a guy) and both genders were taught about balancing a checkbook. When you consider that kids were still getting married right out of high school, it made sense.
